Plaza Video Poker MRO

Originally posted by: Inigo Montoya

I played the VP machines at the Carousel bar once when it first opened, they were from some weird company I'd never heard of before and I didn't like the glare from the lights or how the machine looked and played.  I'm sure it's also quite cold in the winter out there.  Hard pass.

 

Edit:  they are Aristocrat Video Poker.  Perhaps they are good paytables, but the cards, font and play was weird to me.


One strong clue is that VPFree2 doesn't list any machines at the Carousel bar. They usually list everything in a given casino that's halfway decent.

 

And as far as the Aristocrats are concerned, in the listings of playable bartop games, those machines are mentioned and specifically excluded. They would have to have crap paytables for VPFree2 to do that.

 

And in the very, very, very, very, very unlikely event that there is a +EV play at the Carousel bar with the coupon, ain't nobody gonna spill the beans.

This MRO is now live.

In the latest YouTube video about the LVA book, Anthony said the $500 FP for a Royal Flush coupon was moved out of the book because it wasn't a positive EV play due to the pay tables at the Carousel bar.  But with the coupon it moves your odds to 99.6%.  I might play if the weather is good and I want to be outside away from smoke for a bit, but doubtful it's a destination.
